TIE leaders Of the Progressive Labor
Party. of New York, are attempting to
make some cheap political capital out OF
the dispersion by the police OF a Peaceaole
Socialist meeting in New York the other
day. Captain REILLY, the officer in COM
mand of the police at the meeting, makes
an explanation Of the affair. He interviewed
at the request of the Socialists in charge OF
the meeting to prevent a disturbance OF 1t
by n marty of GEORGE men. His action
was misinterpreted by the body Of police
men behind him as intended to disperse
the meeting, and they accordingly dispers-
ed it. Although Captain REILLY admits
thatit was his OWN neglect that caused this
misinterpretatiOn, it is evident that he had
not the slightest intention Of bringing
about the result that ensued. His expla-
nation is enough 70 assure reasonable peo-
pie that the dispersion Of the meeting was
a deplorable accident. The cheap dema-
goguery of those with whom he had to deal
is shown by their completely ignoring an
explanation that carries On its face the
evidence of its accuracy and d~enOuncing
the conduct Of the police as "a malicious
outrage" If they had said that the oc-
currence showed q lamentable lack OF dis
cipline on the part of the police they
would have been warranted by the facts.
1t is very fortunate that the disturbance
which was the occasion of Capt. REILLY's
blunder did not proceed from members Of
either of the '~capitalistic' parties. In
that case it would have been hard to per
suade the people concerned that the police
did not interfere for the purpose of backing
up the d~isturbers. In fact, the disturbance
was made by members Of another labor
party, and consisted in cheers for HENRI
GEORGE. The police will not be suspected
of sympathy for GEORGE against the candi-
date Of the other labor party, whoever he
is, any more than for that candidate
against GEORGE.

PLAYING AT WAR.
successful Naval Test-TorPedo Attack ON
the Atlantis.

successful Naval rest-Torpedo Attack on
III Atlantis.
NEWPORT, r. l., October 12.-An inter-
esting and successful naval experiment vas
made, in the outer harbor last night, In the
form of q torpedo attack on the U. 5.
Cruiser Atlanta, which was stripped OF her
upper spars, and all her spare sparS were
used in forming a line Of defence about
her. Outside of this alta distance ofaoout
40 feet from the snip was stretched a steel
hawser shutting off all possible approach
The attacking force consisted Of fifteen or
twenty steam launches under command
of Commander Colby McChester OF
the Galena and these boats were sent out
soon after Z O'Clock, in different directions,
each to endeavOr to get sufficiently near
the Atlanta to explode a torpedo, or within
twenty feet, which was fixed as a sufficient
distance before discovery by the powerful
search lights Of that ship. On board
each boat was a detail of officers, from the
class at the war college, to act as umpires,
and others performed similar duties on
board the Atlanta. There was also a large
number of other naval officers to witness
the experiment, which showed most con-
clusively the efficiency and success of the
two powerful search lights on the Atlanta,
for nearly all the boats were discovered at
a distance of more than half mile and not
one was able to approach within 100 yards
Of the ship before discovery. AS soon as
each boat had been discovered, and the
Atlanta's guns had been turned on 1t, a
signal from that ship announced it wasout
of the contest, and these signals were re-
peated rapidly till all the boats had been
discovered. The test was very satisfactory
to the officers. On Thursday another sham
battle like that of two months ago will
take Mace here.

One acre of land we'll cultivated

Tips From the Finger Nails.

He who keeps his nails we'll

Nails which remain long after
being cut level with the finger end

: The owner of very round and
smooth nails is of a peaceable and

He who keeps his nails somewhat

is a romantic poet.
He who has white spots on hfs

you come across a man with

Transparent nails with lightIed,

An Essay on Man.

Men are PECULIAR they wear No,
10 boots and snore. This is what
makes it easy to recognize man
when you see one. They wear hats
they are careful of; when not losing
them they ale always poking them
into somebody's eyes. They don't
gossip, but go to clubs and talk
over the 'news.' They don't paint
or,powder (often) but they raise
whiskers that makes them look like
Scotch terriers, and coax like hair
moles to grow on the chins. They
are not vain, but they never like
the young lady who says they are
not handsome.
Men are consistent. They like to
see the dress of a lady plain and
sensible, shate furbelows and fun
lnery,' but let lady in plain,
sensible dress enter a car where
these men are seated and she may
stand an hour and not one of them
offer her a seat, but when a lady
enters arrayed in the height Of
fashion. every one of them will
spriug TO his feet and glory in the
honor Of standing for her sake, or
rather Tor the sake of her clothes.
Men uever find fault with them
selves, not if they can help it,
Adam showed them how they
could help it, and they have profit
ed by his instruction. Men take
cold aud think they are going to
die, and when you carry them a
bowl of herb tea they turn pale
and ask you If it is bitter and il
don't suppose it would do just as
we'll to take it next week.
Men don't lead around a poodle
dog with blue ribbon, but they
chew tobacco and perfume their
clothes with a pipe. Men are al
ways wanting clean shirt, and
when they get one they are. always
ready to swear that there is not a
button on it, when all the time the
buttons will be there, only they
can't hnd them. Men can never
can never find anything. They
pull off theiI boot and forget where
they put them, and pretend they
remember just all about it, and at
ter they have rummaged around
and turned everything upside down
and looked on all the shelves il,
in the pantry, in the sewing ma
chine drawer, and upset Your work
basket, sit down and remark that
this is a deuce of a house, a fellow
never knows when he gets out OF a
thing when he is going to set eyes
on it again; and when you bring
his boots, that you have found
right here he left them, he hands
you his slippers andswants to know
ii you cant jab them into some
out of the way corner where the
old Scratch would never look fol
'em.'
Men think they know lot, and
they do sometimes. Men are a
trouble, but they are handy TO have
